Ionospheric Connection Explorer. Ionospheric Connection Explorer ( ICON) [6] is a satellite designed to investigate changes in the ionosphere of Earth, the dynamic region high in our atmosphere where terrestrial weather from below meets space weather from above. ICON studies the interaction between Earth's weather systems and space weather ...
Zenit (Russian: Зени́т, IPA: [zʲɪˈnʲit], Zenith) was a series of military photoreconnaissance satellites launched by the Soviet Union between 1961 and 1994. To conceal their nature, all flights were given the public Kosmos designation.
WorldView-2. WorldView-2 ( WV 2) is a commercial Earth observation satellite owned by DigitalGlobe. WorldView-2 provides commercially available panchromatic imagery of 0.46 m (18 in) resolution, and eight-band multispectral imagery with 1.84 m (72 in) resolution. [4]
Multiple satellite imaging. Multiple satellite imaging is the process of using multiple satellites to gather more information than a single satellite so that a better estimate of the desired source is possible. So something that cannot be seen with one telescope might be visible with two or more telescopes.
A military satellite is an artificial satellite used for a military purpose. The most common missions are intelligence gathering, navigation and military communications . The first military satellites were photographic reconnaissance missions. Some attempts were made to develop satellite based weapons but this work was halted in 1967 following ...
SPOT ( French: Satellite Pour l’Observation de la Terre, [1] lit. "Satellite for observation of Earth") is a commercial high-resolution optical Earth imaging satellite system operating from space. It is run by Spot Image, based in Toulouse, France. It was initiated by the CNES ( Centre national d'études spatiales – the French space agency ...
Artist's conception of OCO-2, the second successful high precision (better than 0.3%) CO observing satellite. Space-based measurements of carbon dioxide (CO 2) are used to help answer questions about Earth's carbon cycle. There are a variety of active and planned instruments for measuring carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere from space.
